I would suggest trying Sam Norris' T-N88D1 or T-N88D2. Both are in the same
color range as N88L, have prominent veining and are good to excellent growers,
at least in the Southwest. Increase seems to vary from year to year for no
obvious reason. N88D1 is a particular favorite of mine and I've used it quite
a bit for hybridizing, trying to amplify the great veining.
